Signature Auth

For more security of API request, we recommend that you use the Signature Authentication for access authentication.

Parameters

  • publicid: public ID, each KEY has a public ID.

  • t: Timestamp, in seconds

  • sign: Signature

  • other required parameters of API

Create Signature

  1. Format the request parameters in “key=value” format, such as “k1=v1”, “k2=v2”, “k3 =v3”.
  2. Remove parameters with null values from the request parameters
  3. Remove the request parameters with the parameter sign (the signature parameter is not involved in the signature algorithm)
  4. Arrange the remaining key-value pairs in step 3 in ascending dictionary order and concatenate them with the &, e.g. a=1&b=2&m=3&w=4
  5. Splice the API key after the string obtained in step 4, assuming the key is mykey , the result is: a=1&b=2&m=3&w=4mykey
  6. Encrypt the string obtained in step 5 with MD5 (Note: the character set is UTF-8) and get the signature result
  7. Add the signature result from step 6 to the request as a parameter named sign, i.e. sign=xxxxxxx

PHP Demo

// String to be signed
$str = '';
// Sort the parameters by the dictionary ascending order of their parameter names
array_filter($params);
unset($params['sign']);
unset($params['key']);
ksort($params);
// Iterate over each key/value pair in the sorted parameter array
foreach($params as $k => $v){
    $str .= $k . '=' . $v . '&';
}
$str = substr($str,0,strlen($str)-1);
// Splice the signature key to the end of the signature string
$str .= $secret;
// Generate an md5 signature for the signature string by the md5 algorithm, which is the value of the sign parameter we want to append
$sign = md5($str);

JAVA Demo

        StringBuilder baseString = new StringBuilder();
        for ( Map.Entry<String, String> param : entrys ) {
            //sign参数 和 空值参数 不加入算法

      try {
          MessageDigest md5 = MessageDigest.getInstance("MD5");
          byte[] bytes = md5.digest(baseString.toString().getBytes("UTF-8"));
          return new String(encodeHex(bytes));
      } catch (GeneralSecurityException ex) {
          throw ex;

       char[] out      = new char[l << 1];
       int    i        = 0;
       char[] toDigits = { '0', '1', '2', '3', '4', '5', '6', '7', '8', '9', 'a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e', 'f' };
        for ( int var5 = 0; i < l; ++i ) {
